Hello and how the heck are ya?
Doing well, I hope!
This morning dawns the beginning
of a new school year for my two oldest kids.
My poor middle daughter Emily has been back to school
for five weeks now.
Oh the blessing of year round school.
Not really fair is it?
The dear girl has reminded me no less than
7 bazillion
times how unfair it is
that she is
“……the ONLY one who has school, Mom.
My life is full of despair, it’s just not FAIR!
All the rest of you people are just home eating bon bons
and playing and having fun…
sob, sob,
sniffle
sniflle….
boo hoo.
waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.”
Can you really blame her?
Life can be hard when you are 9 years old.

And so, for this full figured mother of five
having all three of my big kids back in school this morning
is a calm and quiet blessing.

Since school is back in session…

Hearty Breakfast Burritos
Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Recipe from Jamie Cooks It Up!
2 dozen eggs
splash of milk
salt and pepper
1 32 ounce bag Southern Potatoes
5 T butter
salt and pepper
8-10 large burrito style tortillas
Toppings:
diced ham
bacon
cheese
salsa
sour cream
BBQ sauce
ketchup
maple syrup
***NOTE: To make these Hearty Breakfast Burritos come together even quicker you can omit the potatoes. End of note.***
1. Crack your eggs and put them in a large mixing bowl. Add the splash of milk and a little salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs up until they are nice and frothy.
2. Heat up a large skillet over medium high heat. Spray it with cooking spray and pour your eggs right in.
3. Scrape the bottom of your pan until the eggs are cooked through.
4. While your eggs are cooking heat up another skillet and add the butter. Pour your hash browns in and cook them until they are golden brown.
5. Heat your tortillas in the microwave, or wrap them in tin foil and let them heat through in a warm oven.
6. Set out the tortillas, potatoes, eggs…..
some yummy toppings and let your family build a little bit of breakfast wonder.
Thanks so much for dropping by, today.
Have a good one….
here’s to a new school year!






Breakfast is always cold cereal – but occasionally we have breakfast for dinner.
Most days it is cold cereal but I do like to make mini muffins and freeze them. Easy to take out and warm up!

Cereal is always nice and handy. But, my kids have always loved the breakfast casserole I do in my crockpot with scrambles eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon and LOTS of Cheddar cheese. There are a lot of variatons that can be done with the recipe..It's great on Christmas and Easter morning…specially when there is a lot of sweet candy around. Oh, and it's great with salsa and sour cream. Gosh, it's making me hungry!–~Michelle
My kids love the chocolate chip pancakes from your site with homemade strawberry syrup.
Yummy!

We are leaving tomorrow morning to take my daughter to university and I am feeling a little nostalgic, so I'll share a breakfast with you that she used to love. I'd put leftover hash browns in a coffee mug, crack an egg on top, salt and pepper, then shred a little cheese over the egg. Put a cover on the cup (I just use a small plate inverted) and microwave 3 to 5 minutes until the egg is cooked to your liking. She could grab the cup and eat it on the way to school if I drove her. I live in Canada so I probable don't qualify for your contest, but my email is [email protected].
My kids mostly eat cold cereal because I don't want to cook breakfast every day. I do try to have french toast or pancakes or waffles on the other days, sometimes I make sausage egg cheese muffins.

My kids love yogurt parfaits!! We cut fresh strawberries and place on bottom of tupperware container…add small container of vanilla yogurt…top with blueberres. We make several at a time and place in fridge for a yummy, quick & easy breakfast!

I love pancakes but my kids would rather just have cold cereal. So my thought is why in world do I want to put more work into something they don't really want when morning is crazy enough anyways? I at least try to buy the cold cereals that have at least 3grams of fiber in them so I feel like it is doing something good for them.
